King Hui Tai Lang Handcrafts an Aircraft Carrier, Ying Zheng Builds Interstellar Great Qin
Chat Group.
Sai Aotian: "The battle between those two monsters got my blood pumping!"
Ye Hei: "Tell me about it! I never expected Kong to shove a tree into Godzilla’s mouth, hahaha."
Feng Baobao: "Six!"
Sun Wukong: "Good thing it wasn’t my Ruyi Jingu Bang he shoved in there."
Qian Renxue: "Great Saint, was that really a proper thing to say? Were you serious? I wasn’t overthinking it, was I?"
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "… Sigh, so that’s how you understood it. I’ve changed after all."
Little Dragon Girl: "Huh? Um, Sister Hanyi, I-I…"
Qingyun Lu Xueqi: "…"
Sword God Li Chungang: "Good thing Sword Immortal Wang was muted, or there’d be another wave of trouble."
Bad Commander: "So you understand again, Gang?"
Zhang Sanfeng: "Ahem, this old daoist truly doesn’t understand."
Qian Renxue: "True Master Zhang, you’re single. Of course you wouldn’t understand."
Zhang Sanfeng: "Sigh!"
Iron Man: "Ahem, no, I need to go visit a cover girl."
Ye Hei: "Tony, something’s off with you."
Han Li: "This!"
Wang Lin: "Everyone seems so unfathomable!"
Saintess Li Susu: "Yes, you’re always talking about such profound knowledge."
Bi Cang Wang: "Hehe, I’ll just smile and say nothing."
Sun Wukong: "?? Strange, did I say something?"
Ye Wen: "No."
Tushan Second Head: "Kong is quite upright, but the height gap between him and Godzilla is enormous—almost half again as much. Fighting barehanded puts him at a disadvantage."
Xu Yi: "Well said."
Although Kong had learned martial arts and possessed both the Ox Talisman and Dragon Talisman.
Kong was no longer using the Dragon Talisman, so naturally, he would not use the Ox Talisman either. He wanted to defeat Godzilla with his own strength.
Martial arts had raised Kong’s potential, but Godzilla was not a carbon-based lifeform at all. It could be called a monster built entirely on raw stats.
Even with martial arts enhancing him, Kong would likely struggle to break through Godzilla’s defenses. After all, even nuclear bombs could not kill Godzilla.
The Godzilla before them might not have reached its peak yet, but it was still formidable. Martial arts could only make up for so much, and with such a difference in height, the gap in strength became apparent.
Ye Wen: "Group Owner, there’s nothing I can do. This is Kong’s own wish, and I have no way to make him grow taller."
Hui Tai Lang: "Grow taller? I have a way."
Tushan Second Head: "Hui Tai Lang, what way do you have?"
Hui Tai Lang: "Before I joined the Chat Group, I was always dealing with those little sheep, so I invented plenty of gadgets.
One of them was an Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp, which could enlarge objects. I never needed it afterward, so I left it in Wolf Castle."
Ye Hei: "An Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp? Awesome!"
Iron Man: "Let me study it."
Ye Wen: "In that case, I’ll have to trouble King Hui Tai Lang."
Hui Tai Lang: "No need to be polite, Master Ye. Just get me some lamb."
Hearing King Hui Tai Lang say that, Hui Tai Lang became very happy.
Tushan Second Head: "? Hui Tai Lang, you’re in my world, but the Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp is in Wolf Castle. Are you going back for it?"
Hui Tai Lang: "No need for that trouble, Boss Yaya. I can make one right here, hahaha."
Iron Man: "?? Just like that? Hui Tai Lang, did you bring tools with you too?"
Ye Hei: "Probably not?"
Tushan Yaya opened a livestream, and Hui Tai Lang appeared before everyone.
"Hello, everyone," Hui Tai Lang said.
Iron Man: "Hello. I just want to see how Hui Tai Lang makes an Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp."
Ye Hei: "Same."
Morax: "Curious!"
Qian Renxue: "Same here."
Sun Wukong: "Here for the show?"
Under everyone’s gaze, Hui Tai Lang reached into his fur and rummaged around, pulling out an electric drill. He then took out a welding mask and put it on.
Hui Tai Lang picked up stones, branches, and even blades of grass from the ground, then started making an Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp? "??" The group members.
After a round of operations filled with sparks and flashes, the group members’ mouths gradually fell open wider and wider.
Would you believe it? Hui Tai Lang used stones, branches, and plastic he had somehow pulled out from nowhere to create the rough shape of a flashlight in just a few minutes, then continued working with the drill and welder.
After half an hour, a palm-sized flashlight appeared.
He shone it at a nearby tree, and the tree shrank with a whoosh. Then it enlarged again, growing dozens of meters tall.
"??" The group members.
Chat Group.
Hui Tai Lang: "Done, Master Ye."
Ye Hei: "This is absurd beyond words. You… Hui Tai Lang?"
Iron Man: "No, where did the electricity come from? You made a flashlight out of a pile of stones and branches."
Never mind the enlarging and shrinking effect; simply creating a flashlight from that pile of materials was already impossible.
Back when he had built a miniature nuclear reactor from scrap metal in a cave, he had at least followed the laws of physics.
So where was Hui Tai Lang’s logic? Wasn’t this creating something out of nothing?
Sun Wukong, Yunxiao, and Willow God were cultivators, so they did not feel much about it! But he was a genius inventor with more than a dozen degrees and a head full of knowledge.
Hui Tai Lang’s actions had directly shattered his worldview. If this worked, then wasn’t everything he had learned just garbage, shit, worse than a wolf? Qian Renxue: "Is it really that absurd?"
Qian Renxue had little understanding of modern technology, so she could not help asking.
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "Uh… I don’t understand it, but it sounds impressive."
Luo Feng: "That’s way too absurd. How did he do it?"
Xu Yi: "Nice."
Hui Tai Lang: "Thank you for the like, Group Owner. It’s actually very simple. You just do this and this, then that and that, and with one swish, it’s done."
Bad Commander: "Masterful craftsmanship, the Great Dao in simplicity!"
Sword God Li Chungang: "Gang, did you really understand that? This old man certainly didn’t."
Ye Hei: "Impressive, truly impressive—the peak of impressive, absurdly impressive!"
Iron Man: "Uh… It’s unscientific. It’s really unscientific."
Clearly, Hui Tai Lang had given Tony far too great a shock today.
He had seen Hui Tai Lang’s script when the wolf first joined the group, but watching Hui Tai Lang personally craft an Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp still shattered his worldview.
Xu Yi: "Calm down, calm down."
Xu Yi had long been prepared for this, so he was not surprised. As a character from a comedic dimension, Hui Tai Lang could not be defined by normal logic.
There were many such comedic characters: Hui Tai Lang, a certain champion mouse-catcher, and that blue fat cat, all of them were like this.
It would not be an exaggeration to call Hui Tai Lang immortal and indestructible. It just depended on how many buffs Hui Tai Lang could stack on himself. Xu Yi remembered that Hui Tai Lang had once created a gadget even more incredible than a time machine, something called the "Bye-Bye Machine."
That thing had even directly broken through dimensional barriers, allowing beings from an animated world to be brought into the human real world. And it was not the human world within the animation, but the world inhabited by the director and screenwriters. It was truly outrageous.
Of course, making these gadgets was not that remarkable in itself. As long as the technology was sufficient, they could all be made.
What was outrageous was that Hui Tai Lang could handcraft them from a pile of primitive materials like stones and wooden sticks. That was the key issue, and the reason Tony was so shocked.
Through the Chat Group, Hui Tai Lang sent the Enlarging and Shrinking Lamp to Ye Wen.
At that moment, another change occurred.
Ye Hei: "Hey, Hui Tai Lang, if you can handcraft such heaven-defying gadgets, what else can you create?"
Qian Renxue: "Ye Hei, why are you asking that?"
Ye Hei: "I’m just curious."
Hui Tai Lang: "Uh… This king doesn’t really know either. Anyway, if I think of something, I just make it. If I can’t make it, that’s fine too. I’ll succeed sooner or later, right?"
Iron Man: "Hui Tai Lang, if you handcraft an airplane and actually succeed, I’ll cover unlimited lamb buffet for the rest of your life. Every flavor you could want."
Hui Tai Lang: "Hahaha, really?"
Iron Man: "Of course. I keep my word."
Ye Hei: "An airplane? That’s a little difficult."
Xu Yi: "An airplane is too basic for Hui Tai Lang. Why not make an aircraft carrier instead?"
Although Xu Yi knew Hui Tai Lang was capable of making an aircraft carrier, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Iron Man: "?? Group Owner, are you serious? An aircraft carrier is on a completely different level. How is that possible?"
Ye Hei: "Yeah, that’s way too unreasonable."
Qian Renxue: "Aircraft carrier?"
Sun Wukong: "The Group Owner has spoken. I don’t really understand, but I’ll watch the show first, hehe."
Bad Commander: "Same."
Hui Tai Lang: "No problem. I’ll try."
Xu Yi: "Then begin."
For a moment, the group members’ gazes gathered on Hui Tai Lang once again.
Hui Tai Lang held an electric drill in one hand and wore a welding mask, gathering materials from the surroundings as he began constructing an aircraft carrier.
At first, everyone could roughly tell that it was the model of a ship. Though it was not large, it was eye-catching.
But as time passed, everyone’s expressions changed. Especially Tony, the master inventor—his eyes gleamed, and his look of amazement never faded.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Hui Tai Lang kept hammering and pounding as sparks burst forth. Amid his busy movements, the little black boat before everyone grew larger and larger, like a steel beast on the verge of awakening.
Very soon, about a day passed. The time in the livestream was essentially fast-forwarded, so it did not affect the group members much.
At dawn on the second day, the black boat that had originally only been able to hold a few people was gone. In its place stood a majestic aircraft carrier around three hundred meters long and two hundred meters wide. It was not an empty shell either; it even came equipped with weapon systems.
Under Hui Tai Lang’s control of a button, the aircraft carrier slowly rose from the ground and floated in the air?
"Group Owner, Boss Yaya, Boss Honghong, do you want to come aboard for a ride?"
Hui Tai Lang looked expectantly at the people beside him, hoping for praise as his tail wagged back and forth.
"Damn, you really made it? It looks so imposing!" Tushan Yaya said.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this?" Dongfang Huaizhu asked uncertainly. Everything before her exceeded her understanding. No matter how she thought about it, she could not comprehend how this humanoid wolf had created such a massive object in just one day.
"What is this?" Tushan Honghong asked.
"An aircraft carrier, a kind of bird that can fly in the sky," Tushan Yaya explained.
"What a strange name." Tushan Honghong tilted her head.
Tushan Rongrong’s eyes were full of curiosity.
"Hui Tai Lang, add a statue of this boss onto the aircraft carrier. It has to look grand and domineering," Tushan Yaya said.
"No problem, as long as the lamb keeps coming," Hui Tai Lang said happily.
In the Chat Group, aside from shock, some people fell into silent despair.
Iron Man: "I just don’t understand. What principle is this based on? It would be one thing if you had materials, but how did you make an aircraft carrier from a pile of stones and wood? Is this cheating?"
Ye Hei: "Even cheating wouldn’t be this outrageous!"
Qian Renxue: "Calling it a divine skill would not be an exaggeration."
Bad Commander: "Masterful craftsmanship, peerless beneath heaven!"
Hui Tai Lang: "Ahem, it’s alright. Tony, don’t forget the unlimited lamb buffet."
Iron Man: "Of course. Eat until you burst."
Luo Feng: "Such creativity is unimaginable."
Demon Child Nezha: "It looks so fun!"
Morax: "Nice!"
Xu Yi: "This is talent. There are countless paths to the Great Dao, and cultivation is not the only system through which one can transcend. Every world has its own unique charm. As for Hui Tai Lang, his talent is breaking logic and turning the impossible into possible."
Immortal Ancient Willow God: "The Group Owner thinks highly of him."
Sun Wukong: "Yeah!"
Fairy Yunxiao: "Inconceivable. It could only be called a concept."
Xu Yi: "Precisely."
Hui Tai Lang: "It’s not that exaggerated. It’s alright, hehe."
Though he spoke modestly, the smile on Hui Tai Lang’s face never disappeared. Being recognized felt wonderful.
Although he often invented strange gadgets, they seemed unreliable, and those hateful little sheep always found loopholes in them.
This time, however, the experience of handcrafting an aircraft carrier was surprisingly smooth and natural. Everything flowed in one seamless motion.
Ying Zheng: "King Hui Tai Lang, as long as you have lamb, can you make anything?"
Ying Zheng could no longer remain calm. He had already thoroughly studied Dragon Country’s five thousand years of history. It could be said that he was even more modern than Ye Fan, a modern man, and he deeply understood the changes technology could bring to the world.
He had even worked with Tony to transform Great Qin, but Tony was, after all, a modern person. Even if they developed technology, it would take time.
But Hui Tai Lang was different. In just one day and one night, he had hand-crafted an aircraft carrier from a pile of wood and stones. This could only be described as a miracle.
What Great Qin lacked now was a unified assembly line, so the production of many weapons could not keep up with demand.
Ying Zheng’s own thinking had advanced quickly, but the thinking of the common people had barely changed. This was highly unfavorable for Great Qin as it was now.
Moreover, mining large quantities of ore required immense labor. If it could not be explained clearly, who knew what kind of trouble might arise again?
Now that Hui Tai Lang had appeared, Ying Zheng saw him as the best possible partner.
With such a heaven-defying being, one aircraft carrier a day meant thirty a month and more than three hundred a year! And no raw materials were even needed—at most, some lamb would be consumed. It was simply too cost-effective.
And at this rate, perhaps in less than ten years, Great Qin would enter the interstellar age, embark on a great voyage through the cosmos, roam the stars, and witness a far broader world.
Hui Tai Lang said, "Uh, not necessarily, First Emperor. This king is really just an amateur. I only made these things to catch little sheep—it’s not that exaggerated. But… it might be worth a try."
Ye Hei said, "First Emperor, I know what you want to do."
Luo Feng said, "It’s hard to imagine what might happen if you really do this. Perhaps our ancestors will have entered the interstellar age back in the Qin dynasty."
Iron Man said, "Oh, heavens, as expected of the First Emperor. And Hui Tai Lang, come to my Universe for a few days and let me study you properly—especially your brain."
At that moment, Tony truly wanted to crack open Hui Tai Lang’s brain and study it, to see whether he could install such an outrageously heaven-defying talent in himself as well.
